Apple's patent (as silly as it is) is to make Intellisync's information available when the phone is unlocked. Intellisync only works when the phone is locked!
No, it just means my statement was underqualified.
You don't want to own poorly run, poorly situated, excessively risk-exposed or volatile stock.
Those companies do exist, but they exist almost outside the stock exchange since their core competency isn't making their stocks grow, it's making their company prosper.
Um, not the fact that they are only a little over a year old with the iPhone? Geez, how many years has the XBox or Zune had and still not yet have better market penetration?
You still haven't answered my question; the PS2 is currently profitable though it may have started as unprofitable. Your post only expands your point to four systems: Xbox 360, XBox, PS2, and PS3. Everything else thus far has been sold for a profit.
The memo to get milk is MORE copyrightable than the laws.
The only way a law could be copyrighted is if they were works of art (poems or some such) and assigned to an individual or corporation (IE, not a government). And in that case if it belongs to an individual, how could it be a state law?
Chrome doesn't follow the standard Windows app behaviors either. I would say the lack of a menu bar and blue window chrome make it less "Windows" than Safari.
On the other hand, Chrome does start up faster and Safari does use it's own font rendering path.
Objective-G++? And Objective-C was released in 1986 and was born in 1981/82, released in 1983. In 1986 we saw the publication of both Objective C and C++ manuals, so I think it fair to say that Objective-C was the path not taken as opposed to Apple's special internal engineering language made public.
Of course I do think Google should release a programming language that encapsulates Flash, JavaScript, Python, Perl, PHP, etc, in a simple, clean, easy to parse and index language! Makes sense seeing as they already have Google Code, right?
Apple wanted a single codebase for the PowerPC, Intel, and now Arm processors. They wanted something simple and easy to develop and easy to test.
They also needed it to be low resouce for both the original PowerPC systems (G4) and now the Arm systems (both at 400+ MHz). So it makes sense they didn't go with multiprocessing out of the bat.
That's funny that you think a physical disk an alternative to an online store. The physical disk is the standard, the online store the alternative, and if you read the history, the standard is in decline while the online store is ascendant.
Essentially the value proposition of the online store is greater than the value proposition of a physical disk: 1) If DRM free, no hassles in transfers; just copy 2) Even when DRM encumbered, unlimited backups at the click of a mouse 3) Even when DRM encumbered, easy transfer via copy (authorization is a different matter) 4) Lack of waste products such as unburned fuel, burned fuel, pollutants, packaging, plastic, and product
The only issue is that of equality; can you get it, can it be obtained DRM free, and is it of sufficient quality, and as time progresses all three will eventually be "Yes".
Finally P2P cannot be the alternative unless something changes; someone, somewhere, has to burn a master first, make it available via store or online before it can show up on P2P. P2P can enable (in other words, it can supplement a store or CD, but cannot replace it).
The business model of CDs is being surpassed as we speak. Wait for it in three years.
So essentially you can't talk intelligently about the subject, seeing as you deride the best of breed and like no alternative. You are essentially "out of touch" yourself.

Why not?
Read the patent and Intellisync. They are different.
The patent is to make available all the data when the phone is unlocked; Intellisync makes the data available when the screen is locked!

Because then politicians couldn't exist.

Ah. I can't see why they would want to, there is no marketing cachet to Linux.
It would make more sense though to license OS X and say, "Powered by Apple" than to re-invent the wheel with Linux...
You mean like release and host repositories for their base OS?
Or contribute code back to various open source projects they depend on (GCC, LLVM, KHTML)?
Or maybe release code? (WebKit, Darwin Streaming Server, Bonjour)?
All of that would be great if HP did it; then we would have HP, Apple, and IBM being major open source advocates.
Or the day Apple becomes a "major manufacturer" is the day Windows officially starts dying. It's getting awfully close at 8% in the US.
That already happened once 10 years ago. Look up DOJ, IBM, OS/2, and Microsoft.
They held IBM hostage by withholding Windows licenses until IBM stopped developing OS/2 (they found another agreement with higher prices, I believe).
Excuse me?
What about this?
Or the fact that Apple regularly contributes back to WebKit, KHTML, GCC, and other various (Apple or not) open source projects?
Except that Apple does release their modifications... and they've opened up other projects as well.
Isn't that what NVIDIA did at Vista's launch?
It's an improvement because my iPhone has something like 40 different keyboards since all of them are virtual :)
Um, not the fact that they are only a little over a year old with the iPhone? Geez, how many years has the XBox or Zune had and still not yet have better market penetration?
You generally don't want to buy and hold volatile stocks...
That's why buy and hold was invented...

Uh that is just two examples. How about the SNES, NES, Genesis, GBA, DS, PS2, PS1, etc?
I think you will find that the PS3 and Xboxes are the exception and not the norm.

You're saying the copies on P2P networks are leaked before the CDs are pressed?
The point is that there has to be a master some where, first, before P2P can get it, and right now the majority of those masters are CDs.
Even bootleg DVDs require someone with a preview copy to leak them.
So P2P can technically thrive in a CD-free world, right now it does not.

Most iTunes customers have to be Windows users, so your anecdotes don't reflect the larger market.
Besides which, if you laugh at the iTunes store, which online store do you prefer? Amazon?
